Our hearts and sympathies go out to the many individuals, families, businesses and organizations that were severely impacted and hurt by the President’s Day Weekend flooding.

The Santa Clara Valley Water District hosted public meetings with a resource and informational open house in the three neighborhoods most impacted by the storms. District representatives were there to answer your questions, get feedback and provide you with essential information on what the water district is doing to alleviate flooding along Coyote Creek. The City of San Jose and resource agencies were available during the open house. Spanish and Vietnamese speaking interpreters were available.

Sandbag sites

The water district’s sandbag sites are open from late November through April. Sites may be stocked with filled sandbags based on availability; at minimum, sites are stocked with sand and empty bags for self-filling

Construction in the floodplain usually requires a special permit from your city or the county. Special requirements apply when you are substantially improving your existing building.
